Of course, Shi ran to the bathroom to clean the puke off himself. Meanwhile, the journalist was furiously chasing after the person who threw up on Shi. When they both came back to the lobby, Shi and the journalist found that their things had gone missing.
The International Sports Press Association reported that the two reviewed surveillance videos of the incident and discovered that they had fallen for the gross scheme. When the journalist left in pursuit of the vomiter, his accomplice had entered the hotel and stole their belongings.
The journalist’s full set of camera equipment was taken. They then went to the local police station to file a report at around 2 A.M. What they found was a long line of people waiting to report other crimes.
